Hi all! I am currently living away thus can’t monitor my parents health levels properly. Being my father a heart pt, I am thinking of getting an apple watch for him so that I can get the abnormal heart rhythm, rate, falls, unsteady gait… notifications. Basically if anything is out of order, I may get an instant message, like that.

Now, my father uses a galaxy phone and very much like it. It has come to my attention that if you set up the apple watch for a family member without an iPhone owning, I might not get some of the said features/ notifications.

I just want to know, is that true? Does anyone have such experience? What did you guys do?

Many thanks!
